I may be your friendly greenhouse, but am ain't green!
hi I am a sign and I tell no lies, succumb to my directions!
and we are off to the treetop canopies!
trees+top= need for relief meaning more uphills!
few of the winding meandering paths in the area
the 1st glimpse of our steel trees
this part of the trek sees us back into some small secondary forests again
though we could really appreciate the shade of a primary forest!
few of the omg! part of the trip! (while I can hear you hillwork runners go yay!)
once upon reaching the top of the park
you will see this the start of the tree top canopy walk
it's like one of the mangrove trail walks, only like wayyy much higher
offering rather interesting but otherwise tree-obscured views
the canopy walk is not as popular due to it being quite out of place in the connector route
thats all for that boring walk, our next stop will be Kent Ridge Park!
our journey sees us through more mini forests
before arriving at...
Kent Ridge (park) itself!
the land of signboards, carparks and decommissioned tanks!
facing the sea, the place is very airy and windy
hurray for our west coastline being turned into a container port!
the place also spots an offroad trail for mountain bikers and trekkers
though I won't label it as a Bt Timah alternative
despite it's proximity to Hort park, the place is only frequented only by regulars or people living around the area
Most people will just park their car at the free carparks here and head off the other direction towards Hortpark itself
wonder where that leads to?
something tells me the trees here love to fall...
we exited Kent Ridge park through this pond route, before
argh! walking through civilization (Science park I)
Here we are at the Heritage trail part of Kent Ridge trail (get it? neither do I!)
so as confirmed by the signboard
a walk on the upper Kent Ridges of Kent Ridge, get it?
Here we have big PUB water bottles
and lizard crossings
alot of the road are banked really nicely, far more than those in Mt Faber
and poof suddenly here we are at NUS!
after a short walk and we are out of that urban jungle
our next destination lies beyond this path
is that a lone signboard I spy?
yup it kinda have characters arranged in a way, that reading it out spells the place we intend to go as well!
here, we get the backdoor entry to the park note its proximity to the road!
clementi woods was once a mangrove area, so there are quite alot of such varieties of swamp plants here
with the exception of people...
clementi woods is not exactly bike friendly given the large number of steps in the park, but too small to be considered a proper
the park restaurant is still there and is a Japanese restaurant now
sad to see Clementi woods, a shadow of it's former self
we will leave Clementi woods for now...
as with every downfall comes with something else... this one across west coast crescent
and this big open field
across the west coast highway
